You seem to have an upgrade failure because the configuration files from
the base-files package have been locally modified on your system, and a
new version of the configuration files is available in the updated
package, and this requires guidance from the end user to know which
version of the config files you want. Are these updates being applied
noninteractively through unattended-upgrades? While the specific error
message is unhelpful, I don't know that we would fix the root of this
issue in unattended-upgrades; instead, you probably want to run 'update-
manager' on your desktop to upgrade the package interactively and decide
what to do with these config files using the prompt.
It is also strange that apport reports all of these conffiles as
modified on your system. The ones attached to your bug report appear to
be identical to the ones shipped in the base-files package.
